Trump's Border Wall is DOOMED TO FAIL. It's 260 Years Too Late. Mexicans "Invaded" California in 1760... They Founded the Town of Saint Douglas (San Diego)... Then they Founded the City of the Angels (Los Angeles)... San Francisco, San Jose, San Juan Boutista, Santa Clara, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz,The Colorful State (Colorado), The Flowery State (Florida) and the Snowy State (Nevada)...

Trump's Border Wall is also DOOMED because people FLY over it in Airplanes, Sail Around it in Boats and Drive Thru at Checkpoints using Fake ID... What's to prevent a person from Mailing a California Driver License to Tijuana? Then a Person that LOOKS SIMILAR presents it at the Crossing at San Ysidro... A Walls won't prevent Identity Fraud... Remember this: The Great Wall of China FAILED to Keep the Chinese Out... There are Chinese on BOTH SIDES of that wall. 

How do you build a wall on a RIVER? The Great River (Rio Grande) divides the State of TEJAS (Texas) from Mexico... 

The OTHER MAIN FLAW with Trump's Border Wall is that Latino People are Not That Scary. I was born in the City of Saint Joseph (San Jose) and about half the people are Hispanic... For example: My Hero in Junior High School was an Elegant Man Named Isidro M... He was the Basketball Coach... On my Facebook Group of Alumni from The Cats High School (Los Gatos) everyone agreed that he was a LOVED and RESPECTED Teacher... 

Why would you want to build a wall between the USA and Mexico when Mexicans are nice people? Perhaps Trump was Mugged by Puerto Ricans when he was a Child in Queens? Maybe THAT's why he has so much hatred... I remember the Musical "West Side Story" was about rival Street Gangs... One made up of Polish Kids and the Other was Puerto Rican... A famous song was "Maria" and then they Named a Hurricane "Maria" that wiped out the Island Of Puerto Rico... Trump's FEMA Failed Badly to repair Puerto Rico...  

One of the Secrets to the Success of Silicon Valley was that corporate leaders hired smart people from all over the world move to San Jose to work in Computers... My Next Door neighbor was from Nicaragua... Who knew that there were Computer Scientists in Nicaragua? IBM did... We also knew a Nazi who came to NASA after WW2...  When I went to work at System Industries in Santa Clara most of the employees were Asian or Hispanic... I had a LOT of Respect for my direct supervisor who was a Harley Davidson Riding Martial Artist... I certainly did what he told me to do... I was afraid of him because he could beat me up... but he never had to because I simply Honored His Wisdom... 

FREE ADVICE FOR OLD WHITE MEN: RETIRE! JUST LET IT GO! - tRUMP, McConnell, Graham, Sanders, Biden and Pence should simply find a Different Hobby.

Get a Log Cabin in the Woods and Sit on the Front Porch with your Old Dog Blue and Whittle... Learn to Surf... Learn to Play a Musical Instrument...  Tell your Grandchildren all about the Good Old Days When Men were Men and Sheep were Worried... Sit around the Stove at the Country Store, Drinking Moonshine and Complaining about the Weather... Become a Docent at a Train Museum and Blow the Whistle... Build a Website designed to Help the Community... Like Bill Zimmerman Did: MakeBeliefsComix.com

Let the Young People Take Over and Do Not Watch to See If They Sink or Swim... They'll Do Fine... or NOT! It's their World... 

Realize that Once You Have Enough Money, There is No Reason to Get More. Time is Extremely Valuable... Do Not Waste It Running a Government or Running a Business... Look at Former President Jimmy Carter... Using his time to Build Houses... Look at Former President George Bush the Son... Using His time to Paint Portraits of Heroes... Look at Former President Bill Clinton... He became a Vegan after his Heart Attack and Wrote a MYSTERY BOOK with Famous Author James C... Bill became a role model for OTHER OLD WHITE MEN like ME! Maybe, I can Change My evil ways BEFORE I have a Heart Attack! Learn from His Errors. Speaking of Instant Karma: Dick Cheney Had Five Heart Attacks and HIS DOCTOR Saved His Life... WOW, that Doctor is Scheduled to Be Reincarnated as a Flea and will have to live Ten Thousand Lifetimes Crawling all over the Sleeping Dogs George Tenet, Colin Powell and Condoleeeeeeezzzzzzaaaaa Rice... 

You CANNOT find your True Path if you are consumed by the pursuit of Power and Money... Look at The Buddha, he wandered all over India for Decades Teaching Buddhism... OK, It's unlikely that CZAR Donald the tRUMP, Lindsey Graham or Evil Mitch McConnell will ever Learn anything of Value that they Could Teach BUT... You Never Know What You Can Do Until You Try! At the very least, they could stop doing EVIL... Look at Donald Rumsfeld. We Have Not heard anything about him since he Resigned in Disgrace as Secretary of Defense... He Lives on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay and... DOES WHAT? Sailing? Gardening? Taking a Nap? Who Knows... at Least he has stopped the MASS MURDER... 

In my own Life... I Like making Black and White FREE COLORING BOOK pages that People can Print and Color with Felt Pens, Crayons or Pencils... That way MY ART will live forever as Pictures Stuck to Refrigerators Worldwide... Kids will have fun and Parents will save Money and EVERYBODY WINS!

Great Musical: "Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical." A True Gem of the Sixties... The Dawning of The Age of Aquarius...

I was talking to my caregiver (a 40 year old person) and she had never heard of the Musical "Hair"... So I sang her a bit of Manchester England England...

Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical is a rock musical with a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado and music by Galt MacDermot. A product of the hippie counterculture and sexual revolution of the late 1960s, several of its songs became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War peace movement. The musical's profanity, its depiction of the use of illegal drugs, its treatment of sexuality, its irreverence for the American flag, and its nude scene caused much comment and controversy.^[1] The musical broke new ground in musical theatre by defining the genre of "rock musical", using a racially integrated cast, and inviting the audience onstage for a "Be-In" finale.^[2]

Hair tells the story of the "tribe", a group of politically active, long-haired hippies of the "Age of Aquarius" living a bohemian life in New York City and fighting against conscription into the Vietnam War. Claude, his good friend Berger, their roommate Sheila and their friends struggle to balance their young lives, loves, and the sexual revolution with their rebellion against the war and their conservative parents and society. Ultimately, Claude must decide whether to resist the draft as his friends have done, or to succumb to the pressures of his parents (and conservative America) to serve in Vietnam, compromising his pacifist principles and risking his life.

Mystic crystal reve-lations and the mind's true liber-ation.

President Lyndon Johnson announced: “I shall not seek and I will not accept the nomination of my party as your president.”

The assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in June led to uncertainty in the race for the Democratic nomination for the presidency.

At the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, another wave of violent protests emerged, this time between antiwar demonstrators and police.

A heroic Ballad from the Musical Carousel. Famous for being sung by the fans of the Liverpool Football Club... and they perform on a Pink Floyd song "Fearless" from the record "Meddle." This one is sung acapella because it's simply too difficult to play on the guitar... 

Great Books: "Siddhartha" by Herman Hesse (History of The Buddha)... and... "The Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield

https://www.amazon.com/Siddhartha-Novel-Hermann-Hesse/dp/0553208845/

It is the story of the quest of Siddhartha, a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege and comfort to seek spiritual fulfillment and wisdom. On his journey, Siddhartha encounters wandering ascetics, Buddhist monks, and successful merchants, as well as a courtesan named Kamala and a simple ferryman who has attained enlightenment. Traveling among these people and experiencing life’s vital passages–love, work, friendship, and fatherhood–Siddhartha discovers that true knowledge is guided from within.

Pay Attention to Odd Coincidences... it's the Universe Trying to Send you a Message... 

In the rain forests of Peru, an ancient manuscript has been discovered. Within its pages are 9 key insights into life itself -- insights each human being is predicted to grasp sequentially; one insight, then another, as we move toward a completely spiritual culture on Earth. Drawing on ancient wisdom, it tells you how to make connections among the events happening in your life right now and lets you see what is going to happen to you in the years to come. The story it tells is a gripping one of adventure and discovery, but it is also a guidebook that has the power to crystallize your perceptions of why you are where you are in life and to direct your steps with a new energy and optimism as you head into tomorrow.
